BallNodeJoint

class compas_timber.connections.BallNodeJoint

Bases: Joint

Represents a ball node type joint which joins the ends of multiple beams, trimming the main beam.

Please use BallNodeJoint.create() to properly create an instance of this class and associate it with an model.

Parameters:

beamslist(Beam)

The beams to be joined.

base_interfaceFastenerTimberInterface

Describes the interface between the fastener and each of the timber elements.

ball_diameterfloat

The diameter of the ball node.

Attributes:

elementslist(Element)

The elements joined by this joint.

generated_elementslist(Element)

The elements generated by this joint.

Methods

add_features	Adds the features of the joint as generated by FastenerTimberInterface to the timber elements.
create	Creates an instance of the BallNodeJoint and creates the new connection in model.
restore_beams_from_keys	Restores the reference to the beams associate with this joint.

Inherited Methods

ToString	Converts the instance to a string.
add_extensions	Adds the extensions defined by this joint to affected beam(s).
check_elements_compatibility	Checks if the beams are compatible for the creation of the joint.
copy	Make an independent copy of the data object.
element_count_complies
from_json	Construct an object of this type from a JSON file.
from_jsonstring	Construct an object of this type from a JSON string.
get_face_most_ortho_to_beam	Of all the faces of beam_b, returns the one whose normal is most orthogonal to beam_a.
get_face_most_towards_beam	Of all the faces of beam_b, returns the one whose normal most faces beam_a.
sha256	Compute a hash of the data for comparison during version control using the sha256 algorithm.
to_json	Convert an object to its native data representation and save it to a JSON file.
to_jsonstring	Convert an object to its native data representation and save it to a JSON string.
